So I ordered my parts from trusty PiHut and began the long wait. Which wasn’t at all long as I had the CCTV Camera parts within a few days. PiHut always deliver faster than I anticipate.

Sadly after this, the sweets disappeared and were eaten *cough* me *cough* not sorry *cough*. Anyway moving away from the sweet theft, I LOVE ancient history (not medieval) […]
